Flexport CEO on Global Supply Chain Amid Red Sea Crisis

[@Glenintheden]

I started watching this video in order to find out about the global supply chain related to Red Sea Crisis, but instead video ended up being a couple of guys gabbing about who's a c suite executive at which company.

It would have helped to point out that shipping costs and shipping rates have an inelastic demand curve. That is, even if the route is 25% longer, this may have very little effect on the final price of the product. Why? Because shipping costs are so low, for almost all products, a small increase in the shipping cost has very little effect on the final cost.

25% increase in time to deliver does not mean a 25% increase in ships

Why don’t people just offer to buy out the Israeli stake in some of these shipping lines?

Inflation cost $$$$ are set to increase in 2024 if this continues for even a little longer. Supply chain crunch is already slowly beginning to increase prices and delay estimated delivery and pick up times.
